The disclosed water barrier systems may include a first mobile water barrier, and adjacent second mobile water barrier, and a translation mechanism for translating the first mobile water barrier and the second mobile water barrier toward each other. Lowering mechanisms may be configured to lower sidewalls of the mobile water barriers. The mobile water barriers may include sealing elements to form water seals between the adjacent mobile water barriers and between the sidewalls and a surface. Related methods of forming a water barrier assembly are also disclosed.

A transport device for storing and retrieving loads into and out of storage racks. The transport device including a load handling module and a power module. The load handling module includes a load carrying portion, a load handling device with a pair of extendable arms to extend and retract relative to the load carrying portion towards and away from the storage racks. A pair of support wheels to support a weight of the loads While the extendable arms extract the loads from the storage rack into the load carrying portion. A pair of side guides to position the retrieved load on the load carrying portion. The load handling device is attached to a mounting platform with an attachment bracket having an elongated groove. Further, the power module includes a collector shoe assembly pivotable between a conducting position and a non-conducting position using a movable arm and a locking mechanism.

A railcar consist of flatcars for transporting continuous rail sections configured for top loading and end unloading of the rail sections. The consist includes a tie-down flatcar and plural support flatcars. The tie-down flatcar includes a rail securement rack with plural removable rail clamping shelves that facilitate top loading and clamping of the rail sections in place. Each of the plural support flatcars have a roller rack fixed to it. The roller racks include plural roller shelves with rollers to support the rail sections. The roller shelves are pivotally mounted to the roller racks between a loading position that provides clearance for placement of the rail sections from above the consist, and a transport position that supports the rail sections.

A liftable carrying apparatus includes a carrying frame having at least two longitudinal beams extending relative to each other and connected with each other. The carrying frame has, a first support for the cargo, which first support can be driven on up to a maximum width transversely relative to the at least two longitudinal beams. A receiving location is provided for the lifting apparatus, and contact surfaces are provided for direct placement of the carrying apparatus on a terminal floor. A second support is arranged at or between arms of a first support device. A length of the arms is selected so that the first support in a first pivotal position of the arms is prolonged by the second in such a way that it can be driven on and that the second support is raised in a second pivotal position of the arms relative to the first support.

The present disclosure provides a container locking device and a piggyback transport vehicle. The container locking device comprises: a support, the support being provided with an accommodating space; a locking structure, a first end of the locking structure being hinged with the support, the locking structure having a locking position extending out of the accommodating space and an avoiding position retracted into the accommodating space; and a support structure, a first end of the support structure being hinged with a second end of the locking structure; wherein in a direction away from the locking structure, the support structure has a retraction position and a support position which cooperates with the support; when the locking structure is located at the locking position, the support structure is located at the support position and the locking structure is caused to stay at the locking position; and when the locking structure is located at the avoiding position, the support structure is located at the retraction position and is retracted into the accommodating space. The container locking device is an inward-overturning type and supports the locking structure by a support structure, and compared with an outer-overturning cantilever structure, the container can be supported and locked more reliably and stably.
